An Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan has convicted and sentenced 66 Internet fraudsters to various punishments, ranging from two weeks of community service to 10 months’ imprisonment.

The convicts were prosecuted by the Ibadan Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and arraigned before Justices Olusola Adetujoye, Bayo Taiwo and Ladiran Akintola, on separate one count bordering on cyber crimes, between Monday, September 5, 2022, and Wednesday, September 21, 2022.

The Head, Media and Publicity, EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, stated this in a statement made available to our correspondent on Tuesday.

The EFCC said the suspects all pleaded guilty when the charges were read to them individually.

Consequently, the prosecution counsel prayed the court to convict and sentence them accordingly.

The courts convicted and sentenced the defendants.

The courts also ordered that they restituted their victims and forfeited all items recovered from them to the Federal Government.
